While it’s no secret that we’re one of the booziest areas in the country, most people don’t know that not only are we drinking it, we’re also making it, and in larger quantities than ever. Most of the distilleries in San Francisco — and the Bay Area at large — aren’t open to the public, but that’s quickly changing. Here are a few that are ready to open their doors to visitors.

Overlooked and semi-hidden next to the Bayview and Hunters Point neighborhoods, this distillery tour doesn’t pop up on a lot of radars, which is a shame because Seven Stills is one of the most interesting whiskey producers in the Bay Area. The fledgling company makes whiskey from craft beers and teams with local breweries to do it. This maker tour provides great insight into its unique approach to spirits (the company also make bitters and a vodka). The tasting offers a choice of up to six of its spirits to try. What really sets Seven Stills apart is a fun, bar-like attitude — the distillery holds weekly events, most of which have free entry, including trivia nights, release parties, live music and even silent discos. Bonus scoop: Seven Stills is opening a beer bar in the Sunset, at Lawton and 43rd Avenue.

Where: 1439 Egbert Ave., Unit C, San Francisco.

Cost: $15 for 30-minute tasting, $20 for one-hour tour and tasting.

Sober up: Head over to Old Skool Cafe for some great soul food or All Good Pizza for you-know-what.

Whiskey & drinks

After years of offering tours of its historic brewery only, Anchor is finally giving its spirits the same love. Now you can enjoy an hour-long tasting of its non-beer offerings. Upon arrival, you’ll be walked through the hop-scented brewery to the distillery tasting room, located on the rooftop. You’ll get a walk-through of the edible roof garden, full of the botanicals typically used in the spirits. Ever wanted to smell a wild strawberry while looking over the San Francisco skyline? Now you can.

After getting your #gardengoals feels, you’ll head back into the tasting room. Each person receives her own little crate with ¼-ounce of six spirits — three gins, one vodka and two whiskeys — along with crackers and a water glass. You will be guided through the history of Anchor Distilling, learn the production process and even evolve your palate by smelling grains, hops and other things used during production. You’ll leave with a lot more knowledge, both about spirits and the local treasure that is Anchor.

Where: 1705 Mariposa St., San Francisco.

Cost: $35 for hour-long tasting.

Sober up: Potrero Hill has a lot of food gems, but if you want some decadent food after this lengthy tasting process, head over to Thee Parkside, which is walking distance from Anchor. With items like truffle mac-n-cheese and carne asada tater tots, there’s no way to go wrong.

Have you thought how nice it would be to take the ferry to Alameda? Well, let St. George Spirits — and Hangar One next door — persuade you to do just that. You owe it to yourself to learn the history of St. George, the first small American distillery to open after Prohibition. If you don’t have enough time for the worthwhile tour of its gorgeous facility, the 30-minute guided tasting will be enough to elevate your knowledge of gins, absinthe, fruit liqueurs and St. George’s latest production, a Campari-like bitter aperitivo liqueur named Bruto Americano. You’ll have a choice of six spirits to try — three gins and three of its ever-expanding selection of liqueurs. It’ll be a tough call —they’re all great.

Yet the tour is the real gem. The hour-long experience includes a detailed history of the distillery, close-up views of those beautiful copper stills, fermentation tanks and even the bottling line (yes, everything is done in-house). By the end of the tour, you’ll feel like you can make the spirits yourself.

Where: 2601 Monarch St., Alameda.

Cost: $15 for 30-minute tasting, $20 for 1.5-hour tour and tasting.

Sober up: If you didn’t drive there, make sure you grab a Lyft or Uber since nothing is quite within walking distance. For something hearty to soak up those six spirits, head over to Trabocco Kitchen & Cocktails for pizza and pasta.

This month, head distiller Caley Shoemaker opened the doors to Hangar One’s brand-new visitor center and tasting room. Inside the tasting room, guests have the full lineup (including the on-site-only Distillers Exclusive Series) available to try. A botanical garden and grove section overlooks stunning views of San Francisco. With three tiers of tastings, you have a choice of your experience: Only interested in sipping vodka? The $15 coach class ditches the tour altogether, while the $20 business class and $30 first-class options include the tour. The tour includes the production line and a “see-and-smell” section that allows you to experience the ingredients up close. Oh, and did we mention your first-class tour is private? Bonus note: Look forward to a liquor store on-site soon.

Where: 2505 Monarch St., Alameda.

Cost: $15 for 30-minute tasting, $20 for tasting and tour, $30 for private tasting and tour.

Sober up: Get your tiki on at Forbidden Island and try the crab rangoon, chicken wings and coconut shrimp.
